SBTV website analysis

The image above is a screenshot from the sbtv website and this site links in with my topic because it shows a whole range of different things going on with artist in the UK grime scene. For example as you can see on the middle left of the screenshot they are advertising a Christmas party in Camden and selling tickets at the same time. This shows that they are trying to spread the word of sbtv (UK grime music) in a positive way by throwing a productive party rather then a usual party that the grime genre will have such as a street party. Therefore they are showing the positivity of UK grime through their party which is why the sbtv website links with my topic. Subsequently they have all their interviews that they done with several famous artist from around the globe on their website. These interviews contributes with my topic because in the the interviews all the artist just talk about their success and what they get up to in life. Fro example the link below is the sbtv interview of Chipmunk and he basically talks about his new singles and then also what he has done to get to where he is now. And some of the things that he talks about are things that average teenagers get up to in their lives therefore the teenage audience hearing this puts them in a confort zone since they can relate to someone they look up to.

Furthermore the image above is also a screenshot from the sbtv website however it is from the news section. And in this section they show news from outside the UK. For example they show their respect by posting up the news of famous boxer Joe Fraizier pasting away which connotes respect and makes the sbtv website seemed certified. Also they represent other american artist and how their getting on with their music which shows that the UK grime scene is possibly sharing the same interest and features as US rap music. And this brings us back to the point of the sbtv interviews. Interacting more with US music and linking it in with UK grime which shows that UK grime now days is turning more mainstream and commercial rather then just staying underground which is a positive thing.
